For ARM, when tracing with tracepoint events, the IP and cpsr are set to 0, preventing the perf code parsing the callchain and resolving the symbols correctly. ./perf record -e sched:sched_switch -g --call-graph dwarf ls [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.006 MB perf.data ] ./perf report -f Samples: 5 of event 'sched:sched_switch', Event count (approx.): 5 Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol 100.00% 100.00% ls [unknown] [.] 00000000 The fix is to implement perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs for ARM, which fills several necessary registers used for callchain unwinding, including pc,sp, fp and cpsr. With this patch, callchain can be parsed correctly as : ..... - 100.00% 100.00% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __sched_text_start + __sched_text_start + 20.00% 0.00% ls libc-2.18.so [.] _dl_addr + 20.00% 0.00% ls libc-2.18.so [.] write ..... Jean Pihet found this in ARM and come up with a patch: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1734283/focus=1734280 This patch rewrite Jean's patch in C.
